| Home | (BBC News) - Officials in Nigeria say militants in the south of the country have released 12 foreign hostages, whom they have been holding for several weeks. Five Americans, three Britons, two Indians, a Filipino and a South African were freed, as well as a Nigerian seized with them. They were freed in Bayelsa state in the oil-rich Niger Delta, on what militants said were "humanitarian grounds". |
